Tarpon Fishing Season:
May 1 thru Aug 1
Tarpon migrate to the Boca Grande Pass and surrounding areas on the above dates. This is prime time as several hundred thousand tarpon frequent the Pass during this period. Tarpon can also be found from Pine Island Sound to Manasota, including Charlotte Harbor. BOOK EARLY. If you can't plan your trip around prime time call me, I will find you a tarpon.

What to bring:
Temperatures range from 75 to 95 degrees during prime time. The gulf breeze keeps you cool, however, the sun can be brutal. Sun block, a pair of polarized sunglasses, hat, camera, and a long sleeve white cotton shirt are recommended. Ice will be furnished so bring your own drinks. Water and sport drinks are a good choice. Bring your own lunch or we can eat at one of the many water front restaurants.

Launch site:
We will be leaving the Placida Municipal boat ramp. The ramp is located on the Boca Grande Causeway at Rt. 775 before the toll plaza. The Boater's Guide to Charlotte Harbor is an excellent tool for navigating around the area either by boat or car. It also contains information on aquatic preserves, wildlife, marinas, dock side restaurants and much more. Contact me and I'll send you a map for free.

Free Framed Picture of your catch!:
Picture of your catch: 5'' by 7" framed picture of your tarpon, date, and weight. 1 picture per outing. Additional pictures $15 each.
